Thresholds of temperature change for mass extinctions [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 AbstractClimate change is a critical factor affecting biodiversity. However, the quantitative relationship between temperature change and extinction is unclear. Here, we analyze magnitudes and rates of temperature change and extinction rates of marine fossils through the past 450 million years (Myr). The results show that both the rate and magnitude of

Millennial meridional dynamics of the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool during the last termination [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2014 To develop an in-depth understanding of the natural dynamics of the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (IPWP) during the last deglaciation, stacked north- (N-) and south-IPWP (S-IPWP) thermal and hydrological records over the past 23–10.5 ka were built using ...

Antarctic Ice Mass Change Products from GRACE/GRACE-FO Using Tailored Sensitivity Kernels
Remote Sensing, 2021 We derived gravimetric mass change products, i.e., gridded and basin-averaged mass changes, for the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) from time-variable gravity-field solutions acquired by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission and its ...

Split westerlies over Europe in the early Little Ice Age
Nature Communications, 2022 A new stalagmite record from northern Italy and other published data from Europe and northern Africa reveals a split in the climatological westerlies during the early LIA, possibly attributed to sea ice melting.

Mass Migration and Technological Change
Journal of the European Economic Association, 2020 This paper studies the effect of emigration on technological change in sending locations after one of the largest migration events in human history, the mass migration from Europe to the United States in the 19th century. To establish causality, we adoptan instrumental variable strategy that combines local growing-season frost shocks with proximity to
